Just created a folder to put my games in and noticed that some of the icons change after a reboot to a generic market icon.
If I take the app out of the folder and add it again it comes back.
Is there a fix for this or is it a bug with Froyo?
Did you change memory cards in between? I ask because some apps get saved onto the memory card and changing it will obviously mean that ur dhd can't access it......hope that helped

This seems to happen randomly to me aswell.

No. Same card.
This only seems to happen when you move the apps to SD card moving them back to phone remove and re-adding them fixes it or use folder organiser from the market

This happened to me with Launcher Pro for apps on memory card, but if you restart launcher pro, the icons should be normal again.
I noticed this too and came to the forums for an answer, however I found my own answer.
I believe it's related to the apps with data stored on your SD card. When your phone boots up it takes awhile to check the SD card, by that time it's already checked for the icons for the programs in your games folder.
A quick solution is to hit the personalise button, then the first option marked Scene, change the scene, change it back and you get your icons back without having to drag them back out
If you connected to PC via USB, this can cause the sdcard un-mount by the DHD. Reboot will solve it.

I was wondering if somebody could create a guide to create ringtones that won't cause my phone to FC. It does not FC with some of the system Ringtones but it does FC on some of the larger files.

You can put any mp3 file on your phone's sd card and click on it and choose use as ringtone. Or download any one of a number of apps to make ringtones like Ringdroid.
Do you BONSAI?

Yes I do? I am running Bonsai 4.1.0.B9. But anyways what ringtone maker are you using when I try to create a ringtone I get FC. I am using Ringdroid.
The soluation to my problem convert your mp3 file to ogg files.
What I did is I converted mp3 into ogg files. They are the sound files that are native to android. Ogg file work a lot better than mp3 files. I download a free program from cnet called FreeMp3WmaOggConverter to covert my mp3 to ogg files. Now my phone does not FC anymore now I have to find a program to edit my ogg files.
I've used sharetones on the market. U can make your own ringtones

There was a problem with Bonsai 4.1.0b9 that has not been corrected yet and 6 phones have fully bricked requiring the return at a Sprint store. Please flash back to 4.0.1 as soon as possible. After flashing 4.0.1 rerun one click root CWM 3.0.0.6.
Push the my files apk to your phone.

Mp3 for some reason don't play well with my cell phone. Either my phone sometimes locks up or it just does not play at all. I am using the midnight rom 5.2 and mp3 are very inconstistant with my Samsung Epic. Ogg files on the other hand work 100% of the time it does not matter weather they are long or short they flat out just work.
It is fun funny that am the only person who is having issues with mp3 files as ring tones.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Actually, I've been having issues lately. On the ringtone selection screen, the phone would seem to lock up and then FC on me when I would hit "OK"
I'm going to try to convert my mp3 ringtones and notification tones to .ogg and see if that helps. I'm using SUPER http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
Just finished converting to .ogg and tested it out.
So far so good!
@jamice4u, thanks for the suggestion!
I have had this issue before. I was running SRF 1.1.0 at the time. To fix it, I backed up my entire SD card, formatted it from my PC, then very selectively put files back on the SD card.
Resolved my FC'ing that happened when I selected a ringtone, set an mp3 file as an alarm, playing with RingDroid and anything to do with mp3's other than using the stock music player.

Yeah, I thought it might've been something corrupt on the SD card. I pulled it, backed it up, then formatted it and re-copied everything to it, just as I had it laid out before. Still had the same issue. Converting the files over to .ogg seems to have done the trick.
Hi Folks, sorry to post this here but I am concerned this could be an imminent something. When the phone was hooked up to my computer tonight I noticed some duplicate folders on my SD card - 2 "Music" folders, "Android" and maybe 1-3 more. I disconnected the USB and yeah, I see it on phone file explorers too! But this can't really be possible because if I had 2 Music folders which are 12 GB each I'd be out of space, right (it's a 16 GB card)? So what's going on?
Have u opened the folder and seen what's inside of them and how big the files r (if the exist)?
Sometimes I would notice some doubles in my music but the second file would b 0 bytes and I just dlete them

Did you use your SD card in any other phone, update your phone or flash a different ROM? It could be for any of them or apps you've installed. I don't think its a huge deal though.

The folders appear identical, right down to size, number of files, etc. And no, haven't done anything unusual or made any big changes.

Best thing to do is to backup your card onto a computer. Make those 4 folders and backup those files, check your pix and music on a computer to make sure they copied OK. Then reformat the card and restore so that it only shows 1 of each folder again. Sounds like the directory has become corrupted.
If that doesn't work then try using a different card

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been looking for the solution everywhere and you solved my problem so I had to let you know. My external Micro SD card would show 4 copies of every file and I couldn't work with them. After applying your solution I'm back to one copy of each folder when I connect to my PC and I can work with them again. Thank you again!
I'm gonna try this. Been driving me nuts looking for an answer so I've just been dealing with it. Was going to copy 100g of audio to the computer to format the card eventually. I'll let you know how it goes.

Did you rescan your media card? Sometimes the info doesn't read all the way after a ROM flash.....try rescan media app in the market. That don't work, try a reboot.

actually if u havent gone back to stock ull just be doing things rashly without looking further into it, this same problem happen to me with meridian player, i couldnt find my music on the list nor it would find it, i come to learn that i need to search for it under the folder section, if apollo and the other music player have the option to search under folder then u can just look for it manually and play it from there, it should fix the problem, u just gotta find the place where ure music is at.

This looks like a great idea, but I'm wondering how they hold up. (I always worry about losing the caps to my keychain thumbdrives. :silly:
It Works, But
I got one. A nice little piece of kit. But so far it isn't a seemless experience.
The default Apps don't seem to recognize it. Neither Gallery nor QuickPic will find any of the photos on it until I navigate to it using ES File Explorer. Gallery will only show the photo I open from File Explorer. QuickPic will allow me to browse the directory of a photo I select, but not move up the directory tree.
As for music files, Play Music will do so for the file selected from ES File, but won't allow me to search the memory card.

Do u have root on ur Moto X? If so, can you pls give chainfire's stickmount from the play store a shot?
I think it may solve your problem by auto mounting the OTG device on boot.
If it works, I'm definitely getting one for my X too!

Nice! As soon as I read Cedarsprings review I was kinda bummed cause I just ordered one of these today. But if stickmount works, this little drive will be my new favorite toy
When I had my nexus 7 and used some random OTG, it worked like a charm on it .. So here's hoping! The meenova looks so much more schmick than the clunky OTG I used to have!!

Not Rooted Yet
While I got the Developer Edition, I haven't rooted it yet as I'm still deciding whether or not to put either my company e-mail (with their MaaS360 Mobile Device Management) or my client's e-mail (and its Citrix Recevier security - speaking of, what poor reviews!). Either Maas360 will detect Root, or it is just company "policy" to not allow rooted devices, and I'm still trying to find out which is is before I move on things.
I'd thought changing the USB Computer Connection setting in teh Storage settings from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) might help, but no joy. In fact, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't anything about the attached device there.
And while I'd also like to get Titanium Backup in place, there aren't any ROMs with real appealing capabilities that are pushing me to unlock and root. Now, when there's a Menu patch like Jason Robitaille's Advanced Launcer Options in WebOS, I'll be rooted & ROMing in a heartbeat.

Totally understandable .. I think in theory it should work, but just wasn't sure about motox compatibility with the stickmount and otg setup... Apparently Motorola phones dont seem to work with Carbon/Helium backup so I was wondering if something in the system might interrupt the setup.
hells yeah... Another webOS fan!! So rare to find one these days.. I'm only on Android becuz things went south ... At least matias is design the UI for android now.. And with HP's alleged intention to sell webOS patents, we just might find that Android becomes more webOS-y in the future!
The patch system was awesome! I think Rod Whitby setup Nexus Internals a while back when HP started giving up on webOS... Not sure if they are working on any solutions similar to preware? Closed framework is very similar in concept tho... Have u installed it?

Response from Meenov
I sent a note to the Meenov support site yesterday, giving them a heads-up about the Moto X issue and this thread, and got this quick response:
"Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately that's because Moto X removed certain support for external USB storage, while Moto's other models (Droid series) have better support for external USB storage."
So hopefully the smarter among us will figure out what the problem is and it in a future ROM.

Stock ROM, FAT32, and sort of. It doesn't need to mount like a typical SD card. Plug it in and it will automatically show up in /storage. Unplug it when done, no need or way to unmount.

Ok, so I've had mine for about a week now and it works great with my 32GB UHS-1 class card.
To get your media to read in other apps, such as music in Google Play Music, download the app by Chainfire called Stickmount. Mount the Meenov. Second, if you wanna go the free route, download the app called Rescan Media Root and run it. (obviously, you need to have root access) Give it about 10-20 seconds (your Meenov will start to blink) and your music should start appearing in Google Play Music. Just remember to Unmount when you want to remove the Meenov reader. And to remove all your music stored on the card that still appears in Google Play Music, run Rescan Media Root again.
Or, you can just drop $2.49 on the pro version of Stickmount and it will automatically trigger a rescan on mount and unmount.
